Hopefully they take care of it.

Inflating the tires and then letting them cool down so they are setting the proper cold pressure. electromet, sounds like you may have a defective TPMS sensor. I haven't had problems with mine. One thing ... are you setting the pressure with the engine running? The engine should be off and...

He has a 2001. Think Auto-on showed up in 2003. They got rid of auto for 2014 in the states but honestly, it annoyed me anyway

Take it to them. And man ... some clown put a scrape on my rear bumper >.<

thanks?

If it was at night and you were driving only with the DRLs, you are going to be stuck paying the ticket. As fishycomics said, DRLs run your headlights on a low-power mode while all of your other lights (including your taillights) are off. DRLs are not meant as a replacement for activating your...

Usually it is, but double check with them. If it occurred from use of improper cleaners, then they won't cover it.

http://auto.howstuffworks.com/car-driving-safety/safety-regulatory-devices/airbag1.htm There is no CO2 canister or tank on a car. It is all done with a powered propellant (sodium azide) and an electric igniter, and the system is triggered via the Airbag Control Module when a crash sensor...

It isn't so much that they are complicated, but that they are incredibly picky on the way you torque things, tighten things, adjust things, etc. You mis-adjust a band and you can fry the thing in 10 minutes and have to start all over again. With manuals, adjusting backlash and clash patterns...

I haven't had this issue. Probably only in warm and humid climates (even though it has been humid in SoCal this week ... it ain't like Florida or Arkansa/Tennessee humid). I don't know how people live there. If it gets past 75° it's too hot for me. I'm a t-shirt in 50° weather type.

Toyota actually has a pending recall on certain ... 2009 to 2011 airbags, I believe, for the Corolla. The wiring for the driver's side airbag can become tangled and pull itself away from the connector, causing the airbag light to trigger. Toyota is currently working on a fix for this, and...

Carbon Canister is emissions. Airbags use a dry powder propellant.

Really, the only way you can improve the fuel economy of a modern car further than rated is to remove heavy components and replace them with lighter components, but lighter can be expensive or more easily damaged, so there is a trade off.

I've rebuilt manuals, but as far as automatics, I only do fluid and filter changes. I won't touch one for anything else.

The PCM will compensate for the amount of air that goes through by controlling how long the injectors stay open for. If you have less restrictive airflow, it improves power, but at the cost of mileage. The mileage really only suffers under wide open throttle though. At cruising speeds, it...

Tiger, you could also have too much carb. You want the air flow velocity through the venturi to be maximized without exceeding the maximum airflow. That is what mixes fuel best. Throwing too big a carburetor on a car causes poor mixing.

The button only works at 0 m.p.h. as well, not while in motion.

Smaller foot print, so I wouldn't try to take off tight bolts with those jacks, LOL!

Meh. I've had several cars with rear disc and never seen evidence of stone damage or anything of the sort. The tires cover the rotors.
